Hi folks. Shift lever seems to move ok but transmission won't engage any gears. Had not driven my '30 Roadster for 4 months. Got about 1/2 mile from home, slowing down for a stop sign, kind of heard and felt a faint pop as I clutched and down shifted into neutral. Engine continued to run fine, but no matter what gear I shifted into there's nothing there. I can move the shifter into any gear, but nothing engages. Speedometer starts to move when I lift the clutch, the higher the gear the higher the "speed" displayed. Had the car towed home. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
